Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute chicken legs with other cuts of chicken?

Yes, you can substitute chicken legs with chicken thighs or drumsticks. Adjust the cooking time as necessary, as different cuts may require different baking times.

What is the best way to store leftovers from this dish?

Allow the leftovers to cool to room temperature, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the leftovers for up to 3 months. To reheat, bake in the oven at 350°F until heated through.
